Lingo Guide

[Purplegibbon]

There's probably reference to this somewhere els but I cant find it. Being new to the forums I've noticed lots of slang and lingo, I don't know and when read these long information packed paragraphs people like to leave and they are really helpful (by the way) There usually full of these terms... So what I'm asking if someone has the time could you make like a rosetta stone kinda deal like QT LFS (petstore or something I don't know) ETC there's a lot I don't know And I'm learning to know so please help me and DOn't laugh at my noobiness!

I don't know all of them but QT is quarantine tank and LFS is local fish store

If you mouse over the letter's it will tell you what they mean usually.

QT = Quarantine Tank
LFS = Local Fish Store / Shop
PWC = Partial Water Change
BB = Beneficial Bacteria

When someone talks about "parameters" they mean the levels of Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate in the tank water and sometimes pH too.
